Laura Shrode is the cheerleader of the SOT/Sem and a 2016 alum! She befriended me when I was a summer student and I also lived with her for one summer after. It sometimes felt hard for me to fit in because my home is in Florida and I wasn’t always directly connected to the Saint John’s community and didn’t know much about Minnesota. She helped me fit right in and gave me the best Minnesota and Collegeville experience I could have asked for! Her warm heart and passion for her ministry reflect her Saint John’s background and she an exemplary alumnus for Saint John’s mission.
